Wow No kidding. Sounds just awful.
A dremel with a diamond bit and a spray bottle of water works for me.
“ The clip involved dipping a rope in a flammable chemical and setting fire to it once wrapped around the bottle in order to cut the bottle in half and make a vase.”
Now who is going to watch doing something sensible like that on Instagram?
Thanks for that.
I have seen some fine glass sets, such as one made from San Miguel beer bottles or unusual vodka bottles, and when I asked the person selling them (who made them) this is how he said he did it.
When I asked why do it like that instead of using a glass cutter in a rig, he said it was almost impossible to use a glass cutter to do it effectively without getting chips in the glass which gives a less pleasing result. I couldn't argue with his results, and after seeing how it was done, considered doing it myself.
That said, I think their issue was likely HOW they were doing it, not the process itself. In the linked video above, they are talking about lighter fluid, which, if done as I have seen generally demonstrated, involves just enough to soak the string.
If done as I have seen demonstrated, I can't see how this would set her upper body on fire.
I am going to guess she not only did NOT use the lighter fluid sparingly, she was probably leaning over it and her hair caught on fire...but even that, details are sparse. How would the upper part of her body be "engulfed in a fireball" ? I suspect they were using gasoline or worse, and soaked the bottle, or had their container nearby and that went up or something.
Too bad for her. She is/was an attractive woman physically.
Was this a how to video they were recording?
If so that it sounds as dangerous as a tide pod challenge on YouTube it’s ban such things. Imagine this happening to just observers of the video trying it at home with no name or celebrity the bank on.
